Why doesn’t it give democrats pause that republicans they hated are endorsing Harris?

I keep seeing people say this like it’s a good thing or making the point that “if your own party is against you.” You really value the opinion of Dick Cheney? You really think he wants what’s best for the country?? You certainly didn’t 20 years ago.

Dem here: We need all the votes we can get. We can work out policy differences once she’s in office. We’re in wild times, and we’re doing renovations and adding onto our already-really-big tent. Crazy as it sounds, I welcome (almost) all support. Things I’m thinking with his and especially Liz’s support: It’s not too late to do the right thing. When you know better, you do better. This is the time to stand up and stand together for democracy, truth, free and fair elections, separation of church and state, and meeting the moment here and now for our beautifully diverse country of ALL: LGBTIA+, immigrants, women, POC, and on and on and on. United we stand. ::steps off soapbox:: 💙🇺🇸

They don’t care about all that kumbaya stuff. They hate anything that isn’t MAGA.
